Putting fuel cells to the test…

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record. Winds spanning more than 1,100 miles

>>$60 billion in damages Fuel cells demonstrated the

ability to provide reliable power in numerous examples

Federal Role: Clean Energy Investment Government funding helps stimulate investment from Industry helping lead to the

successful development and commercialization of clean energy technology.

Today, renewable energy is no longer about ‘breakthrough technology’; it is about technology breaking through. Fuel cells are still an emerging industry- sustained federal and industry investment is essential- strong government-industry partnerships are critical

Mission: To promote the commercial introduction and widespread adoption of FCEVs across America through creation of a public-private partnership to overcome the hurdle of establishing hydrogen infrastructure.

Public-Private Partnerships

Current partners include (additional in process):

Fuel Cells are part of All-of-the-Above Energy Strategy

“We’ve got to invest in a serious, sustained, all-of-the-above energy strategy that develops every resource available for the 21st century.”

– President Barack Obama

"Fuel cells are an important part of our energy portfolio…deployments in early markets are helping to drive innovations in fuel cell technologies across multiple applications." - Dr. David Danielson Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, 2012
